HUNTING LODGINGS.

Special TO the Gazette.
Il WASHINGTON, Nov. During the
past few days Senators aad Representa-
tives have been appearing at the capital
in considerable numbers and the hunt for
quarters has fairly begun. There seems
TO be pretty general disposition smong
the new Representatives and Senators to
go to housekeeping, having received
probably, sn exaggerated account of the
famous "Washington boarding house
women" with six daughters, two lobbyists
and otner modern conveniences, so that
the great search is for houses. The sup
ply of houses will not meet
the demand, and most of them
will have to go to the hotels or into
lodgings.
ORGANIZATION.
There is some talk about the organiza-
tion of the House, hut there is no speaker
ship TO lock forward to and the only
contest as TO the other Officers so far
spoken of with any sincerity is for the
place of door-keeper. Besides Mr..
Donelson, the Epresent door-keeper,
there are TWO active candidates, A. Bur
nett Of New York and J. 3. Hart of
Mississippi. Mr.. Hart is said to be MIR.
Donelson's most formidable rival and his
friends claim that he will be elected.
They say ne has been making q quiet
canvass and has many warm friends
working for min. He has the entire dele
cation from his state. They are working
earnestly for him and have Wsrm
supporters in some csses, amounting 10
the whole delegations in Texas, Louisi-
ana, Florida, Maryland, South Carolina,
Georgia, New York, Pennsylvania, Mis-
souri, and Michigan. Mr. Donelson has
| made q very good doorkeeper and has
many friends, and the contest promises
to be hot one. All the other officers. il
is thought, will be reelected practically
without contest.
THE HOUSE COMMITTEES.
The making Of the committees is going
| to be hard task for the speaker, on &C.
count of the large number of new mem
bers. Nearly all the members Of some Of
the committees failed of reelection. The
committee OF the District of Columbia
lost its chairman, Mr. Barbour, and fonr
members besides. The appropriations
committee lost three members. The
committee On elections lost nine of It's
fourteen members. The ways and means
committee lost its chairman and three
other members, and SO on through the
list, so that in making up the new com
mittees the old ones Will furnish very
little foundation TO build on and there
will be great deal of material tolplace.

Closely Matched.

WASHINGTON, December AIT the eau
Gus of the democratic senators an intor-
NAL report Of the caucus committee was
submitted respecting adecisionin the cases
of senators Turpie of Indiana and Faulk-
ner of West Virginia. The matter was
discussed at considerable length, but no
line of action was sketched. The usual
cause of procedure is to swear in new
senators, two at a time, i'll the order in
which their names are on the alphabetical
list. The tive parties are exactly equal in
strength at the start, but with the admin
istration of the oath to the first senator on
the list (Mr. Aldrich) the republicans will
have a majority and can control the cur
rent of events if no dilatory proceedings
are resorted to. Members of both parties
are studying closely with a view to meet
ing any attempt by their opponents to Sc
cure an advantage. The democrats have
caused kilograms to be sem to their absen-
tees summoning them to be present Mon
day. The absentees were senators George,
Hearst, Blodgett, Hampton, Gibson, Col
quit andSaulsbury.

A Horrible Accident.

MILES CITY, December IA horrible
accident, resulting in death, occurred to
James Brunson, a young man engaged in
teaming and hauling lumber for a mill ON
the Tongue river, above the Cheyenne
reservations It occurred last Tuesday, but
being 80 miles from here was not heaEI :
until today. While walking and driving
beside TIE loaded wagon on a rough road,
the wagon slued to enesside of the road.
Endeayoring to hold the load back, it fell
upon him, crushing the lower part of his
body and legs. 1t is supposed he killed
himself afterward, and when his body was
found the next day, the lash of his whip
was found tied tightly around his neck.
His sutferings alone in a deserted part of
the country, with no hope of assistance,
seemed reason enough for him to put an
end to it by choking out the remainder OF
the vitality left him. His former home is
unknown

Got Back at Each Other.

WASHINGTON, December 3.-The CORE
spondence which has passed recently be-
tween congressman Breckenridge of Ar
kansas and Mr.. Samuel Donelson, door
keeper of the house of representatives and
candidate for reelection, is made public
tonight. The charges are converting pub
lie monies to private use, barter of official
positions for private gains, etc, etc. Spec
ifications and names are given. The con-
gresham, in reference to his alleged rep
u~tation, says:
"Your general reputation is that of a
gambler, Il d~issolute man, and a man de-
void of veracity, and your capacity is con
sidered by many as not being at all ade-
quate to the responsible and important
duties of your position. This very nearly
concerns the honor and dignity of the
house."
Doorkeeper Donelson takes up the
charges separately, and denies them all,
and gives af1idavits of some of the parties
mentioned by congressman Breckenridge
in support of his denials. As regards the
personal illusions, Mr.. Donelson says:
Gas to your assertion regarding my
moral and personal character being a mat
ter of public fame, our official relations
are such as to restrain me from giving the
only appropriate answer which Il gentle
man SO g%ratuitously assailed and insulted

A Dining Car Line to the Pacific
Ocean.

The Northern Pacific railroad, the only
one of the tran~scontinental lines running
dining cars through to the Pacific coast,
announced a new time schedule taking
effect November 90, 1887. The principal
features of this new schedule are:
First. Twelve hours quicker time from
Saint Paul to Helena and Butte, Montana,
and twenty-four hours shorter time to
Portland, Oregon, Tacoma, Washington
territory, and all north Pacific coast points
by the limited express leaving Saint Paul
at 4 P. NJ. daily. The time of number 2,
the corresponding train east bound, will
be shortened seventeen hours.
Second. An additional through express
train, to which will be attached Pullman
sleepers.d dining cars and emigrant sleepers.
leaving Saint Paul at s A. NJ. daily, for
Helena, Butte, Missoula, Spokane Falls
and eastern Washington points; this train
making the through time five hours
quicker than the former Pacific coast eX-
press. giving the intended Pacific coast
settler fourteen hours quicker time than
heretofore.
Third. Three express trains daily from
Saint Paul and Minneapolis to Moorhead,
Minnesota, Fargo and jamestown, Da-
kota, with through Pullman sleepers to
Grand Forks, Fergus Falls, Wahpeton
and principal points in north Dakota.
The Northern Pacific not only offers to
the travelling public the best train service,
including its famous dining cars, Pullman
palace drawing room and sleeping cars,
emigrant sleepers and splendid day
coaches, from Chicago and all eastern
cities to Portland, Oregon, as quick time
as by any other route, while to Butte and
Helena, Montana, it is the shortest line by
one hundred and se%venty-six and three
hundred and sixty-six miles respectively,
actually saving the traveller to Butte six
hours, and to Helena, eighteen hours, as
against any other line.
The great reduction of time will be Of
particular interest to all classes Of travel,
especially Yellowstone park and Pacific
coast excursionists contemplating a return
trip by the all rail line-the "Mount
Shasta route-between San Franciscoand
Portland, and a trip along the Columbia
river or oven the famous Cascade noun
tains via the Northern Pacific.

NEIHAR V ORE.
Arrival of a Large shipment-Open-
ing of an Important Branch
Of Business-Bfight
Prospects.
Prospects.

Robert Bates OF Belt creek has come to
weighing il al about 1900 pounds. This
will be the first shipment Of silver ore by
railroad from this city and may be regard
ed as the beginning OF a new branch OF
business which will attain great lmpor-
lance before long. The ore is in 10Olb sacks
and has been selected, SO that it averages
about $500 per ton. Some of it runs up
in the Thousands. Mr.. Hooper is undecid-
ed whether to send il to Helena or Tosto2.
In Helena there are sampling works, where
the ore IS ground and its value determin-
ed. In Toston, there is a smelter for the
reduction of silver ores. Mr.. Hooper
will bring in about five 0 II more OF ore
if the experiment turns out we'll.
The ore comes from the Ripple mine on
Snow creek, a tributary of Carpenter
creek which flows into the Belt. The
mine is owned by Gus Ockerman, Will
liam MacQueen, and others. 1t was work
ed last summer on shares by William
Hooper who took out this ore.
The arrival of this ore is regarded as an
Indication of the immense business that
will be done here when the reduction
works are in operation in this city and the
Sand Coulee branch railroad is extended
into the Neihart region. The reduction
works will provide a ready home market
for all such ores. The works will be
able to pay the miner a higher price
than he can get elsewhere because they
will reduce the ores economically by
means Of abundant motive power and
cheap fuel. The miner will save the cost
and DELAY of sending his ores to other
markets and will be able to sell ores of
low grade as we'll as those that have been
picked to save the cost of freight which is
as high on rich as on low grade ores.
Pending the establishment of the reduc-
ton works here, the railroad communi-
cation with eastern and western cities pro-
vides a wide market for Neihart ores,
which previously could not have been
sent away without considerable delay and
expense. The change from the old to the
new ways will benefit Great Falls in many
respects, for hose who ship ores here will
buy goods with part of the proceeds.

The Haddock Murder Case.

Sioux CITY, Iowa, December 3.-Today
has been one of the most important in the
trial OF Arensdorf for the murder of Had
dock. Byron Webster, the United States
revenue collector, testified that from about
10 o'clock until the fatal shot was fired
on the night of the murder he was in
Sheperd's saloon and restaurant and that
Arendorf was not there. The importance
of the evidence consists of the fact that
Sheperd's is the place where Arensdorf
